Scale Differential

Went to the doctor yesterday and he seems to approve of my new leaf turned. One thing that was disappointing though was my weight loss. I was expecting to be at 348 instead I was at 353 which means my scale at home is off by 12 lbs, at least now I know. With the timing of the evening working as it was I had to eat before I worked out which is how I used to do it, but is certainly something to avoid. Walking fatigue didn't kick in till about the 21 minute mark. My right foot did fall asleep on me by the end again, but this time I think it was because my shoes were tied too tight.

Hello! Good luck with all of this and remember, the scale is just a number. I lost nearly 100 pounds, but along the way I learned to not obsess over the number. Just pay attention to hwo you look, how you feel, how your clothes fit. The mirror + clothes are the best judge because as you eat well and exercise you will move in the right direction regardless. Again, good luck!

The Future

About Me

I have always been overweight. Back in 1998-99 I lost 80 lbs on no-carb. I was still overweight. I honestly believe the only reason it worked at all was because I was in college and had multiple dinning halls worth of choices to keep me in salad and meat. Once I graduated that year it took about 2 years for all the weight to come back. I never have stuck to much in the way of exercising. At 28 years old a sedentary lifestyle with a taste for high calorie food has gotten me to 367 lbs. Now it's time to see how far running and a vegetable induced portion controlled way of eating can get me.
